The Witch's Children

When the witch's troublesome children arrive at the park, all the animals run for cover, but a child playing by the lakeside is not so prescient and is changed into a frog. In an attempt to undo the damage, the children work their half-learned magic and soon every inhabitant of the park is caught up in a shape-shifting muddle. This is a short, schematic story in which the bright, anarchic, page-filling, cartoon-like pictures do as much work as the bold and simple text set into them. A very pleasing variant on the themes of mischief and magic.
